[Mark Birney]

Jimmie Johnson (NASCAR)

Broke the record for titles won in a row.

Alex Zanardi inspiration to all!

 

[Warren Dawes]

The hardest part about assessing the "best driver" awards is taking into account the impact of the cars / bikes in the series. Many series are won by those having superior equipment eg. F1 is hardly an equal playing field for all drivers.

 

[Richard Kay]

Mark Martin for getting so close despite being old enough to be some of his competitor's grandfather.

 

[Austin Jordan]

I would like to nominate someone who you guys might not know. Jimmie Johnson/NASCAR. Who: won the nascar sprint cup championship for the fourth consecutive time, something no one else in Nascar has done before.

 

[Austin Jordan]

I like Mark a lot better, but he's not old!!!!!!! He's 50 years old. I can think of two people older than him that race too.

 

[Patrick van Driel]

Valentino Rossi (MotoGP) , The man has a driving style not from this planet and so he did it again

 

[Günthar Rowe]

I would have nominated Whincup but his mid-season wobble..... hmmmmmm.

mid season wobble, or did Holden man up for a few races before they stuck their tails between their legs again...
